Mimi Zohar 0214b96a6a ima: limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations
[ Upstream commit a414016218 ]

Each time a file in policy, that is already opened for read, is opened
for write, a Time-of-Measure-Time-of-Use (ToMToU) integrity violation
audit message is emitted and a violation record is added to the IMA
measurement list.  This occurs even if a ToMToU violation has already
been recorded.

Limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations per file open for read.

Note: The IMA_MAY_EMIT_TOMTOU atomic flag must be set from the reader
side based on policy.  This may result in a per file open for read
ToMToU violation.

Since IMA_MUST_MEASURE is only used for violations, rename the atomic
IMA_MUST_MEASURE flag to IMA_MAY_EMIT_TOMTOU.

README

Linux kernel

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs or make pdfdocs. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
